Fashion Fusion: Native Textiles in Spanish Colonial Art

Drawing from the Denver Art Museum’s extensive Spanish colonial art collection, Fashion Fusion looks at the influence textile motifs have had on other artistic mediums.

The DAM collection includes numerous colonial paintings that depict native textiles or textile motifs such as geometric designs reminiscent of Inca tocapu panels and capes and huipiles similar to those worn by Aztec men and women.

Spun: Adventures in Textiles is organized by the Denver Art Museum. Exhibition support is provided by the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
